How to set GPS module XM37-1612 to standby

[itmoto]

GPS module power management

Update... I just found out I was sending the correct command after all to enter standby mode but the problem was I failed to leave any delay after sending each command. I added a delay after each command and now it enters standby mode successfully and the consumption has reduced from 22mA to 1mA! For anyone that may find it useful, here is the code, for sending (MTK Platform (MediaTek Inc.)) commands that reduce the GPS current, it also uses the NeoGPS library to parse GPS data. After 10 sec…

I got my module to enter a lower power state in the above topic, in post 38 I provide a testing sketch using the Neogps library.

Hope it helps and you can reduce current.
